In the seventh book in the brilliant New York Times
bestselling mystery series, canine narrator Chet and P.I.
Bernie journey to Washington, DC, and the dog-eat-dog world
of our nation’s capital.
Stephen King has called Chet “a canine Sam Spade full of
joie de vivre.” Robert B. Parker dubbed Spencer Quinn’s
writing “major league prose.” Now the beloved team returns
in another suspenseful novel that finds Chet sniffing around
the capital city and using his street smarts to uncover a
devilish plot.
Chet and Bernie pay a visit to Bernie’s girlfriend, Suzie
Sanchez, a crack reporter living in far-off Washington, DC.
She’s working on a big story she can’t talk about, but when
her source, a mysterious Brit with possible intelligence
connections, runs into trouble of the worst kind, Bernie
suddenly finds himself under arrest.
Meanwhile Chet gets to know a powerful DC operative who may
or may not have the goods on an ambitious politician. Soon
Chet and Bernie are sucked into an international conspiracy,
battling unfamiliar forces under the blinking red eyes of a
strange bird that Chet notices from the get-go but seems to
have slipped by everybody else. Most menacing of all is
Barnum, a guinea pig with the fate of the nation in his tiny
paws.
As Harry Truman famously quipped, “If you want a friend in
Washington, get a dog.” Too bad he didn’t get to meet Chet!
